Florence, a city of beautiful memories

Florence felt like one enormous art museum. Simply walking through its alleys gave the sensation of traveling back to the Renaissance era, and even the texture of the cobblestones underfoot felt special. Every moment left a calm and profound impression. The Duomo Cathedral was the heart and soul of Florence. Its exterior, crafted from white, green, and rose-colored marble, sparkled under the sunlight during the day and appeared even more majestic against the red evening sky. The view of the red-tiled rooftops from the top of the dome was warmer and more vibrant than any cityscape I had ever seen. At the Uffizi Gallery, names like Leonardo da Vinci, Botticelli, and Raphael came to life. Many visitors stood quietly, lingering in front of a single piece of art, and I too lost track of time, completely absorbed in the paintings. On the Ponte Vecchio, jewelry shops glittered, while the Arno River below perfectly reflected Florence's scenery. At dusk, the view of the city bathed in the sunset from Michelangelo Hill was an indescribable emotional experience. Florence is not a flashy city, but it lingers gently in your heart for a long time. It was a place that offered the most 'quietly radiant' moments during my travels.
